i want you to know
I want you to know you're awesome. I want to strike church bells, i want to rip open the ground and crawl inside of it, i want to find a tree trunk to sleep in. I want a to kiss every other brick, i want my two tongues to find each other, i want my tongue back, i want you back, i want the sun off my back and on my face. I want your fingernails to meet my toes. I want you here. I feel voices like molasses and footprints on my sheets, the smell of october like leaves and smoke whirls around until I'm sick with wanting the gold and red of fall and you're eyes on the back of my head again. I want you to know it's okay, i want you to know you're beautiful, i want to eat waffles with you. I want to kiss you underneath the ocean of voices that float in my window. I wake up from a nap still dreaming like im back inside the womb and everything softens sweetly in the sun of this new school, this new place, these new friends.
